We chose EgyptaTours for our Nile cruise and Alexandria, and the experience was simply perfect! The tour operator was exceptional in organizing and looked after us with care and professionalism from day one to day two.
We couldn't have asked for more. The cruise was fantastic and allowed us to discover wonderful places along the Nile. Special thanks go to our guide Mona, who, with his impeccable Italian and in-depth knowledge of ancient Egyptian history, managed to convey all the magic and beauty of those places, bringing us back to bygone eras. Thank you so much to everyone for making this experience unforgettable!

We spent 10 days in Egypt assisted by the agency. From the moment we requested the trip quote from Walaa, and specially throughout the entire trip, we had representatives and guides accompanying us.
Providing information about history and culture in an exclusive and easy way to understand! We were lucky to have people like Abdul and Mona and Ahmed (our driver in Cairo).. They did everything calmly and the agency is truly prepared to provide us with the best of Egypt! Highly recommend them. Very grateful.

I planned a trip for my husband and I to come to Egypt for 2 weeks and I wanted to see as much as possible while we were here. I found EgyptaTours and was very pleased with the itinerary options they offered.
My agent was super helpful in the planning process and the accommodations once we arrived to Egypt were OUTSTANDING. Our guides were fabulous, communicative, highly knowledgeable, and super friendly. They even allowed us to alter our itinerary in Egypt to allow us time to see some new things that we didn't know about while planning the trip! We had a wonderful experience and I recommend this company to anyone who wants to see Egypt and learn about the amazing history and culture.

Beautiful Egypt!!!! Our tour, organized by EgyptaTours, was a complete success. Ahmed Amged, my first contact and the one who organized our entire trip, was very kind and provided us with all the necessary information beforehand.
He also kept in touch with us once we arrived in Cairo. The guides have extensive knowledge of Egyptian civilizations and gave us very informative explanations at each of the sites we visited. It was an unforgettable experience!!!

Incredible experience with this agency. Their thoroughness, recommendations, punctuality, and personalized service were impeccable. But above all, the assistance of Rafat Ahmed was outstanding.
He helped us with admirable patience and commitment during the difficulties we encountered at the airport, from arrival to departure, as Iberia lost our luggage and it was difficult to recover it. He spoke with everyone he could, accompanied us 100% of the time it was truly incredible! Extremely grateful!

Had a great tour of Egypt with Egypta tours. From the starting till the end the plan was customized and tailored for my needs. Since I was traveling with my daughter who is infant I had few special needs which they fulfilled.
The tour guide Ms Mona and driver Mr Eid/Mr Ahmed were very co operative and professional. Want to thank Mr Abdallah for making our vacation a memorable one. I would recommend Egypta tours for Egypt vacation.

This travel agency made our week in Egypt! I contacted Egypta Tours via Whatsapp to organize a 8 day trip (Cairo, Luxor & Hurgharda). From the beginning, the communication was very smooth and clear.
From our first airport shuttle after arrival till our last day, everything went very well and services were reliable without surprises.. There was always a driver present and on time and the tour guides were true professionals. I can only recommend!

We had an absolutely incredible time in Egypt, thanks to EgyptaTours! They planned and organized our customized itinerary seamlessly, making the entire trip hassle-free and unforgettable.
Selim was a most gracious host, going above and beyond to make us feel at home. From the breathtaking White Desert safari to camping in the Black Desert, from an awe-inspiring hot air balloon ride in Luxor to perfectly arranged inter- and intra-city transfers, every detail was handled flawlessly. Selim also personally showed us around Cairo, making sure we experienced the best of the city. Everything was splendid, and the trip was not just memorable but also very affordable.
